2022-04-04Hi everyone, please advise me the below, i am really helpless to this situation. My 11th month baby fell down from bed 4days ago, the next day i saw him he looks ok just the nose and mouth abit swollen and we have bring him to kk for a check up and the doc say he dun have any bone fracture symptom. No vomiting, no less active, been eating his porridge and milk. From the night he fell down till 4 days later, every night he is not sleeping well. He will scream or cry loud suddenly like having bad nightmare for every 2-3hrs 1 time. Not sure is it traumatised? He seems like cannot sleep in the dark now, he will cry and wake up in the middle of the night. Does anyone have this after baby fell down from bed? is he scared? how long does it take to recover? What can i do to make him feel better to sleep at night? what are the things i need to take note? #pleasehelp #firstmom #worryingmom #babys11thmonth

2022-04-04Hi mommies, just needed a place to rant. I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and still working. For your info, I'm under subsidised route in KKH. So I don't see a fixed gynae. I work in the education industry, so I do not have annual leave. Taking leave means I short-change my students and colleagues, which I hate to do. I also do not want to spend my maternity leave for prenatal and prefer to save them to spend time caring for my baby. A "friend" who gave birth recently had taken 2 months worth of Hospitalisation Leave straight before her dleivery despite not having any issue with her pregnancy or health. Her private gynae gives in to her requests and her workplace does not question her. So yesterday she contacted me and asked me why I am still working. I said I'm still well and not given HL so I'll just go to work. Plus staying active should help in the delivery. She laughed at me about the staying active part (she believes pregnant woman should not do anything at all) and for taking a bus to work instead of taxi, then called me stupid for going to a public hospital as they are stricter when issuing HLs. I'm not saying one cannot take HL to rest, but I'm just annoyed that I'm being called stupid and looked down on for saving money and going to a public hospital by someone who abuses the system and the kindness of her workplace/colleagues. Sorry just needed to rant.

2022-04-04hi mummies, need advice. my husband just tested positive. my baby is only a week old, i'm worried for him. my husband felt unwell couple days back but only positive on 3rd day. he is isolating inside the other room but i feel it's not sufficient. is it possible for him to check in at facility, or can he isolate at his parents' plc instead? i'm considering going to my parents' for the time being, but also concerned i might be positive later and spread to them. appreciate your thoughts!

2022-04-04It's been very challenging getting my 4mth coming 5mth to drink recently. He used to drink 150ml every 3.5hrs. Now we feed at 5hrs sometimes he still fuss and makes alot of noise when bottle is near. For a start, he bites on the teat, suck for awhile then he pushes the bottle away w his hands and tongue. We changed teat size also and it doesn't seem to help much. Thought is a leap, but his leap 4 is somewhat ending. Can I start him on puree? Anyone has same experiences and able to share? It's getting so exhausting.

2022-04-04#help Should my LO be napping longer? I rock and pat her to sleep. If she wakes up, I'll pop in a pacifier but she's playing with it & ended up giggling and shows no interest in sleeping. Yet, 15mins later she'll start yawning & whining but she still doesnt want to sleep. So I'll carry her around the house & entertaining her. Only after her next feed, then she goes down easier. Is anyone going through the same? How do you cope?
2022-04-04Hi mummies! The doctor has told me that Ms is gonna be worst during its peak from week 9 onwards. Am currently experiencing both vomiting profusely and diarrhoea the past few days.

2022-04-04hi mommies how can I increase milk supply before baby is born? also when should i start eating milk boosting supplements? legendairy and red date drink did help me out previously but my supply was still low and i managed to latch baby for 6 months only and mix feed all the way before it totally dropped so I want to try to prep early as I really want to give my 2nd baby as much breastmilk as possible.

2022-04-05Hi mummies..im reaching 39 wks tomorrow. So anxious.. no signs of labour yet.. :(
2022-04-05Hi mummies...I went for transvaginal ultrasound when I'm about 5 weeks pregnant. All was OK we could hear the heartbeat. But when I went for another ultrascan at about 8 weeks, they discovered that I'm with twins. Went for another ultrasound again on week 9 and my twins are sharing a sac and placenta. I'm so worried. Is there anyone who face the same experience? Is everything OK for the babies?
2022-04-05Will there be another fetal scan at 27 weeks too along with glucose test?

2022-04-05My baby is 3 months old and has started to look at her fists. She seem to be trying hard to put her fist into her mouth but don’t succeed yet. Is this normal for her age? Update: Baby started to suck her hands already. Babies develop at different rates and we just got to have faith and not worry too much. Unnecessary comparisons like “oh my baby can do that at xx number of months and so do other mummies” does nothing but exacerbates other mummies’ worries. Let’s all have faith and spread kindness.
2022-04-05I am on my 8th wk of pregnancy. I had my transvaginal ultrasound this morning. There was 2 gestational sac, but one if it is empty. The other one has heartbeat already. The doctor asked me to have my ultrasound again after two weeks. Is there a possibility that the embryo will still develop? #emptygestationalsac #pleasehelp #advicepls

2022-04-05Does it work for infant less than 1 month?
2022-04-05I try a lot ways but my infant don’t burp
2022-04-05My 3 months plus baby has just started IFC. The IFC has advised us that it would be better to pick my baby up early like 430pm during the first month as baby may still be adapting. I can do so for 2 weeks, after which I will need to go back to work and as my working hours is till 6 plus, I won’t be able to fetch my baby at 4 plus. Is it really bad for my baby if I leave my baby at the IFC the whole day till 6 plus 7? I feel so guilty that I am putting her at ifc and now, won’t be able to fetch her home earlier as suggested as me and my hubby both need to work. Any experiences? Thank you. #worryingmom #1stimemom

2022-04-06Hi all! I’m ending my ML really soon and have currently placed LO in infant care. However, I am anxious about heading back to work as LO still wakes up twice for feedings and that disrupts sleep (I cannot fall back asleep very easily). Hubby is helping with night feedings at times too. How do you working mums cope with sleep deprivation and how do you handle taking care baby at night and working? Thanks! #1stimemom #advicepls

2022-04-06Hi, i am 32 weeks pregnant. Just visited the gynae & she told me my baby is small. My baby need more nutrients. What are the type of food for my baby to be bigger?

2022-04-06Previously I posted about this friend who gave birth few months later den me..she likes to boast about how clever her son is each time we have conversation(mostly whatsapp) as I seldom meet her too(more distressing to hear her praise her son in my face). I've always maintained a positive attitude or simply just a word or two and ignore after that.. however I feel quite sick about it. She always boast about her son at 1year old plus can scoot already, can ownself bathe, can speak how many words etc. However one time she came my house and boasted says her son can sit swing independently however when we go playground downstairs he can't and she says oh this swing is shaped differently. Says her son attend school for the first time and doesnt cry and teacher praise her son for being smart at his age..even says that her PD assess her son brain to be 3yo..is there even such assessment? As she has a 5yo niece who stays with her, her son learns everything from her niece whereas my son is the only child at home. Every toddler develops at different phase and have their own strength and weaknesses. For my toddler, he knows the full abc and numbers 1 to 20 and more at 18months, have good memory and can point correctly of whatever we asked, just that he doesn't want to speak yet. Since my friend likes to boast about her son, I tried to boast mine too (but I'm not the type who likes to boast). However she ignores me but expects me to react whenever she says her son is clever. So recently I've decided to stay away from her and did not reply her msges. She msged me again and asked how am I? Should I reply or ignore? #pleasehelp
2022-04-06Any mummy experienced this before? Doc said the blood flow in the umbilical cord is slow and sorta restricted hence baby abit too small in size for 20weeks.

2022-04-06Hi, do you need to wake a 5 months old for night feed? Or do you wait for baby to cue, ie. if they stir or wake in the middle of the night for feed, and if they do not wake, it is alright to just let baby sleep through from 7pm-8am? #1stimemom #caretips

2022-04-06I am a ftm and I would like to hear your experiences. I’m currently in my 36 weeks and baby is still in a breech position and might need to do an e- csect. I am very keen about breastfeeding my LO once she’s out. But, i heard that csect recovery is longer and painful and I’m worried about BF my baby. I’m scared it might be too painful and difficult for me to commit. 1) Would it be better to do EP instead of DL? Do you do mix feeding? 2) How do you cope with the pain of recovering and BF at the same time? Any tips of how to manage pain? 3) How’s your EP schedule like? Thanks mummies and appreciate your inputs!!🥺

2022-04-07As part of my morning routine, I’ve been dissolving one tablet of the Guardian multivitamin (passionfruit flavor) effervescence in a cup of water every morning to drink.

2022-04-07My 3.5mo LO had been gaining weight steadily since birth and just recently (for almost a month) she went from 6.2kg to 6.02kg. She's not fussing and has been fed on demand, typically every 2hrs so it's either she's not drinking enough (direct latch) or I'm not producing enough milk to satisfy her needs. Is this normal? FYI she has been rejecting FM and the bottle, so as per my MIL's advice, we've been trying to train her to accept the bottle.

2022-04-07Hello everyone, I'm just wondering is prune juice safe during pregnancy? I'm constipated.
2022-04-07Simple and easy to use. Kids do figure out how to take out when they get older, but it is still useful as it deters them from playing with the socket and sticking things in. My child knows how to take it out now but he doesn't bother to. Without it he might be tempted to stick things in I reckon.

2022-04-07Hi guys Anybody experience itchy feet and hands? I'm going to my 3rd trimester already 😪
2022-04-07Hello mummies! Does anyone go to your gynae for special request in removing the perineal stitches earlier before it dissolves? I am a first-time mum, who went through a vaginal birth. Episiotomy was done and my baby came out healthy at 3kg. But the problem is even after 12 days postpartum, I can tell my wounds are completely healed, lesser blood discharge but the stitches just doesn't want to dissolve... I can only describe this feeling as 'Gao wei' in dialect or uncomfortable. I can't sit or walk properly and even sitting on a float doesn't help. Furthermore, I can't even burp my newborn because sitting down was a hassle. Have been sleeping on my side as well and there will be slight pain only at night. Please advise and also I deliver in KK hospital (Private package), do state which hospital are you in as well, thank you :)
2022-04-07My son who is 14 months old is not responding to his name, but he is responding to a rhyme or his favourite song when ever we sing even when we are across the hall. Is it normal or do I need to check with my paediatrician.

2022-04-07I have a 21 months old boy, who would tap his fingers when he hears loud 'scary' noises like when people are grass-cutting or something similar. He cries for abit, and when i hug him to tell him its okay, he would tap his fingers, softly, not the aggressive kind. Other occasions, when he is concentrating on his cartoon shows, he would do the same. Is there any cause for this, or should i be alarmed? Please advise. TIA. #advicepls #worryingmom #pleasehelp

2022-04-08Hi ladies, I previously went to Mount E for my gynae but husband and I cannot tolerate the rude receptionist and we decided to go back to NUH Dr Steven Chew. Unfortunately he is taken and so are the other gynaes as well. Dr Citra is only free in Oct (it's April now). My only option at the NUH private clinic is Dr Arundathi but its very strange, there are no reviews of her online but she is very active on research on fetal medicine. Please share if you encountered Dr Aundathi. Also please recommend a gynae (KKH/SGH) with decent waiting time and good at stitching (natural delivery) - 9 weeks

2022-04-08Hi all mummies out there! Can anyone share if their little one who is around 3.5 - 4 years is so attached to her that she will keep for her. She has been crying and wanting to go back to my MIL. I feel so useless that she missed her more than she misses me. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks.
2022-04-08Our baby is turning 1 year old soon, and my husband feels we should do a birthday party for her with his family because she is the first and only grandchild in the family. However, his entire family has been very distant all this while during pregnancy and after baby is born. In-laws didn't bother giving tonics (the usuals like soup/bird nest/chic essence that all my friends received from their in-laws) when I was pregnant and after my c-sec surgery. They have never helped with taking care of our baby, or offered help. They only ask for baby's photos and videos so they can forward to their chat groups. Oh and they made very insensitive and unnecessary comments on baby. Things like "Wah so skinny", "Skin so dark", "Not a lot of hair like your siblings last time", "Don't look like girl, look like boy." URGHHH. 🙄 Two of his siblings haven't even seen our baby even though one of them stays nearby. Just simply can't be bothered. When my husband texted to say my c-sec surgery was the next morning, NONE of his siblings even responded to wish us well or anything. Just blue ticks. They knew the time of the surgery but also didnt text anything after. 😅 We still try to do our part to involve them by sending baby's cute photos and funny videos in the family group chat since we don't meet much, but they often just blue-tick without responding. Interestingly we are not on bad terms, we just seldom talk and hardly meet. The last we met was 2+ months ago for CNY reunion eve dinner. That's just their family dynamics somehow. Tbh I totally don't feel like spending my time and energy planning a birthday party inviting them when they have been so distant, just because of this so called immediate family obligation, when they have never felt obligated to care for us and baby. It has only been my husband and I taking full care of myself during my not-so-easy pregnancy and of baby after she is born. Sigh. Would you bother...?
2022-04-083 nights ago , I used spray in order to kill an intruder cockroaches at my kitchen. I then left kitchen, closed the door and waited awhile before I donning n95 mask to clear the mess.

2022-04-08Hi mummies! Do you follow your cravings if you have during your first trimester? Or do you play safe and eat only what you can?

2022-04-08Hi we had head ultrasound of our going to be 4 months baby. The report says anterior fontanelle is small and is 5mm. Conclusion says: Small anterior fontanelle with relative premature fusion of sagittal and coronal sutures. So there has to be a small opening around 2cm on the top of the head which usually closes after 18 months of birth until then there is a soft spot there. But my baby is having it very small and is having a flat head problem as well. For which doctor has recommended to see neurologist and mostly we will be asked to go for a surgery to increase the space. I am really tense. May I know if anyone has undergone this kind of situation and how did surgery went? #1stimemom #firstbaby #worryingmom #advicepls #pleasehelp #babybrain
2022-04-08Hi moms! Just want to seek some advice, my baby is currently turning 3 months and everyone around me is bugging me to stop breastfeeding and just pumping. Reason being im going back to work soon and it’ll ease everyone’s job- infant care and family members. My baby currently won’t sleep till she latches, not sure out of comfort or milk. I work as a teacher and for 6 hours straight, I teach. I have no breaks in between so I’m worried I can’t pump at work. My baby will be in infant care for half day, thankfully, since I work for a short time. I don’t want to stop breastfeeding her because of the bond I have with her but if I have to, how do I do it? She has yet been able to sleep on her own without me, and she seeks my nipples for comfort too :( #advicepls #firstbaby #worryingmom #pleasehelp
2022-04-08Im currently at 29 weeks however my baby seems abit small 😔#pleasehelp #advicepls #worryingmom
2022-04-08Wonder how I should handle my mil… she keep want to compete with me over my baby. Previously when she was temporarily staying with us, she was unhappy that baby sticks to me and even say it’s my fault and cause I have longer maternity leave. Now she has moved back but we visit her every weekend. Even my husband sees she will carry baby away and give me a look like compete with me. My hubby just jokes about it but it really makes me very uncomfortable. When it’s time to go back home, she also very reluctant to pass him back. Just makes me very uncomfortable. I even saw her kiss his lips once. When baby cries for me she also refused to pass him back. I really don’t like her but also don’t want to destroy the harmony in the family. But I really cannot stand her. She will let baby play with grapes and also put his hands in drawers. I am going crazy…#1stimemom #firstbaby

2022-04-08Hi! Due to a lack of space, i have been using my avent sterilizer & dryer to dry my baby’s food weaning utensils & freezer trays etc, and sterilize it at the same time. Am just thinking, is it safe to do so though? Will it cause the materials to degrade etc? Most of the utensils I use have said that it is dishwasher friendly….

2022-04-08Hi mummies! My LO is turning 7 months and I will be leaving my job to take care of my LO full time. I was wondering what kind of schedule do you have for your LO? He has been waking up frequently through the night and Im worried he is very understimulated currently. Any tips for activities (esp montessori based) or websites to read up on will be greatly appreciated :)
2022-04-08Hi mummies! My LO is 7 months and has trouble sleeping through the night. He has reflux, so he tends to drink lesser per feed but more feeds through the day, hence he still wakes up 3x for motn feeds. Recently he has also been waking up/fussing when it is not yet time to drink. Im worried he is understimulated or i am not catching his wake windows properly in the day. How do I go on calculating his wake windows? Is there also any sleep trainer or courses who can help me understand how to calculate wake windows and how to adjust timings? I dont mind sleep training but i believe in attachment parenting and dont want to use the CIO method.

2022-04-09Hi, I’m currently in a very early pregnancy. I informed my boss about my pregnancy and requested to WFH for 3 days per week, he agreed to let me WFH but instead of 3 days he asked for 2 days. Actually, i am thinking to quit. Reason being i will inhale chemical & fragrance product which i felt it’s not good. Yes, my boss are quite good to us sometimes. There’s work stress. A lot of deadline to met. I’m working as finance, HR, Admin, IT, Sales. Basically is like “baokaliao”. Previously they did accept my suggestion of hiring a operation staff which took away a big part of my job. I have discussed with my husband. He don’t mind me quitting job since previously i miscarriage before and it’s more important for me to take care of myself and baby but I’m still thinking to hold on to this job instead? I’m worry for financial issue (although we still manageable), save save use 😂 Any opinion?

2022-04-09Hello Mummies! I'm a first time mummy and I have a 4 month old baby. For baby carriers, I'll usually use the ones from Konny's (the cloth type) but as my baby weighs 8kg now, I find it hard to place her inside because of her weight and she doesn't wants to sit still as she likes to see around whenever we walk. I am considering to change a baby carrier but I don't know the difference between these 2 designs. Please advise me what's the difference and which is better for my girl? Thank you!
2022-04-09Hi moms, #advicepls #pleasehelp #pregnancy I'd like some advice regarding what you've experienced post pregnancy. Please feel free to reply even if the thread becomes old lol. I'm a second time mom with a toddler and currently carrying twins. In my first pregnancy, I noted some minor stretch marks which appeared at week 37 despite daily stretch mark cream applications. My mother did not get any for both her pregnancies, so it is unfortunate lol. Although my tummy flattened within 1-2 weeks (I think it was due to breastfeeding) I had noticed since then when I bent forwards, there would be extra lines on my stomach skin suggesting it had stretched before. Otherwise, I don't think it is obvious. Now with a twin pregnancy, wondering with other moms' experience how much stretch marks did you guys get and did your excess skin from stretching go back post partum? Was yours vaginal or C sect? Singleton moms I would like your input too with post partum changes haha. Did you guys do any preventive measures? #twins
